Sports Mole looks at three possible transfer targets for Barcelona at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

Barcelona are yet to make a signing during this summer's transfer window, but the club are expected to be active despite their well-documented financial problems.

There have already been sales, with Chadi Riad, Marc Guiu and Estanis Pedrola exiting to bank the Catalan outfit some funds, and more will follow in the coming weeks.

Barcelona will undoubtedly be one of the teams in Europe keeping a close eye on the Paris 2024 Olympics, with the football tournament due to begin on July 24.

There are a number of exciting youngsters taking part in the competition, in addition to some established stars, and here Sports Mole takes a look at three of the players who could be of interest to Hansi Flick's side.


Julian Alvarez (CF | Argentina Under-23s | Manchester City)

Lewandowski replacement? Three possible Barcelona transfer targets at Paris Games

Alvarez is believed to have expressed an interest in leaving Man City this summer, with the Argentine said to be keen to join a club where he is considered an undisputed starter.

There will not be a shortage of interest in the 24-year-old, who has scored 36 goals and registered 18 assists in 103 appearances for the Citizens in all competitions since arriving from River Plate.

Barcelona will need to start thinking about a replacement for Robert Lewandowski, and Alvarez could be the perfect addition for the Catalan giants if they were able to come up with the funds.

Real Madrid are also likely to be monitoring developments considering Alvarez's quality, with the forward enjoying an impressive 2023-24 campaign at club level, scoring 19 times and registering 13 assists in 54 appearances in all competitions.


Samu Omorodion (CF | Spain Under-23s | Atletico Madrid)

Lewandowski replacement? Three possible Barcelona transfer targets at Paris Games

Omorodion will be in action for Spain at this summer's competition, and he will enter the tournament off the back of scoring eight times for Alaves in La Liga during a loan spell last season.

The 20-year-old is contacted to Atletico, but he is yet to make a first-team appearance for the capital giants, and his long-term future with the club is unclear.

The attacker showed his quality at Alaves last season, and a strong Olympics could put him on the radar of a number of clubs, with Chelsea said to be among his admirers.

Barcelona are currently short of striker options, and 6ft 4in Omorodion would be an interesting option for Flick's side, although he has a contact with his parent club until June 2028.


Cristhian Mosquera (CB | Spain Under-23s | Valencia)

Mosquera will be another Spain representative this summer, with the 20-year-old entering the Olympics off the back of making 38 appearances for Valencia during the 2023-24 campaign.

The centre-back debuted for Los Che during the 2021-22 season, but his true breakthrough came last term, as he proved to be a very important player for Valencia.

Mosquera has entered the final two years of his contract at Mestalla, though, and if the youngster continues to develop over the next 12 months, then he could soon find himself the subject of huge transfer interest.

Barcelona might have their eyes on a long-term partner for Pau Cubarsi in the middle of their defence, and it will be fascinating to see how Mosquera performs this summer, as the 6ft 2in centre-back has huge potential.
